About Francesca
Francesca Sullivan is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns. She works with people dealing with low self-esteem, anger, intimacy issues and the fallout from life changes. Francesca offers a calm, listening presence so clients can begin to make sense of difficult feelings.
Francesca uses a client-led way of working. Sessions follow each person’s pace and priorities. She blends talking with simple creative exercises when words feel hard to find, such as drawing, collages or working with images.
Background and approach
She describes her approach as warm and honest, and places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of the work. That means she focuses on building trust and on making people feel heard and respected while they talk through worries and decisions. Francesca has six years’ experience and holds the NCPS credential.
She is bereavement, grief and loss informed and has training that helps her support people through different kinds of loss beyond the death of a loved one. In sessions she may introduce creative techniques only after checking you are comfortable. These methods are tailored to each person and can help express feelings that are hard to name.
Practical steps and gentle reflection are combined so people can move toward clearer choices and more manageable day-to-day coping.

How Francesca uses client-centred and solution-focused work online
Client-Centred Therapy is about making the session a space where the person sets the pace and topic. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what is said and helps people discover their own insights. This approach can help with emotional processing, self-esteem and grief when people need time to be heard.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes. It looks at what is already working and builds on that to reach specific goals. This method can be useful for stress, coping with life changes and forward-looking decisions such as career moves or relationship choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Francesca will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. She may combine listening and creative tasks with short goal-focused exercises and will check in about what feels helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see one another and use visual creative exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflections or when someone prefers to type rather than speak. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and provide flexibility in how people choose to engage.
